Our next stop on the 2026 trade show circuit was Oncology Nursing Society Congress!

We had a great time connecting with oncology nurses and educators, showcasing some of our newest training tools, and learning more about the needs of today’s oncology care teams.

One of our favorite parts of the show was hearing stories about Chester models that have been helping train healthcare professionals for years. It’s always rewarding to see how Chester continues to support education in classrooms, simulation labs, and healthcare programs across the country.

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

We’ve been exhibiting at The Infusion Nurses Society for decades, and it’s always a great opportunity to connect with infusion nurses, educators, and clinicians from across the country.

This year, we showcased trusted training tools like Chester Chest™ and our Advanced Venipuncture Training Aids, while also gathering valuable feedback on products currently in development.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to say hello and share their experiences with us.

Confidence doesn’t come from reading about a procedure. It comes from practicing it.

Hands-on simulation gives learners the opportunity to repeat procedures, develop muscle memory, and build confidence before working with patients.

Next up in our trade show recap series: SAWC Spring 2026, where wound care professionals from across the country gathered in Charlotte to share knowledge, explore new approaches, and advance patient care.

We enjoyed showcasing our wound care training models and talking with attendees about the importance of hands-on education when preparing clinicians to assess and treat complex wounds.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by—we appreciate the opportunity to be part of such an engaged and passionate community. 👋
